Composer of the Week

Ernest Chausson (1855 - 1899)

5/5. An Unfinished Story

Ernest Chausson met with an unexpected death at the age of only 44 at a time when his music was finally beginning to be understood and appreciated internationally. It's clear from the plans and music he left behind that he had reached a new confidence as a composer and was advancing, according to his friend Vincent d'Indy, towards a freedom from the doubts and innate sadness that had permeated his earlier compositions.

Donald Macleod looks at Chausson's later work.
